RESUMO

This work deals with the application of Expanded Bed Adsorption (EBA) to recovery and purify enzymes. Model proteins, lisozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA), as well as some enzymes, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) from baker s yeast, xylanase (from a commercial extract) and chitosanase from Bacil/us cereus were used to study the EBA background and application. The influence of two distributor (porous and perfurated plate) showed that the perfurated plate distributor was more favorable for the EBA. The Strearnline@ SP and the Strearnline@ DEAE adsorbents have a wide size distribution favourable for the segregation phenomena. (Chapter 2 - artic1e published in IEX 2000 (Carnbridge/UK». An integrated process was successful to recover and to purify an intracellular enzyme, Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G3PDH). Performance of the hydrodynamic and chromatographic properties using a pellicular adsorbent (Pellicular) and two porous commercial adsorbents (Stream1ine and Macrosorb) showed that the former presented the best hydrodynarnic and chromatographic properties. (Chapter 3 - paper that wiil be submmited to an international journal). The influence of two settled bed height, 0.050 m and 0.075m, respectively, in the EBA operating at 10% of the breaktrough curve, showed that the former was more efficient. For the lisozyme - Strearnline@ DEAE system yield increased with the increase of the velocity while for the BSA - Strearnline@ SP system this behaviour was not observed. In this case, mass transfer seems to be limited problably due to its lower charge density. (Chapter 4 - paper accepted for publication in the Bioseparation Journal). The influence of cell contents in the EBA using a 5% (wet weight) cell content showed that the purification perfonnance was hampered. (Chapter 5 ­paper accepted for publication in the Journal ofChromatography A). The chitosanase adsorption of fermentation broth from Bacillus cereus, in packed mode, showed a chitosanase peak that eluted with 0.51 M NaCl, in this case a 7.6-fold purification factor with 67.4% of activity recovery were obtained. Similar values were obtained for both c1arified and unc1arified fermentation broth using the bed in the expanded mode. Experiment in expanded mode showed that two bands were present in the peak showing the highest activity, this suggests three possibilities, the existence of two chitosanases, the existence of a contaminant protein or the existence of a chitosanase with two sub-units. However, it was possible to separate the chitosanase from the-main contaminants in just one step. (Chapter 6 - paper that will be submitted to an international journal)
